[Unusual pathology caused by Salmonella in the Greater Hospital of Milan in the 3-year period of 1977-1979].
At the Central Laboratory of the Medical School, University of Milano, Italy, 44 Salmonella strains were isolated from morbid materials other than stools during the three-years period 1977-79 (blood 26, urine 6, pus 3, pleural fluid 4, bile 3, upper respiratory mucus 2). In the present paper, nine cases of Salmonella infections, selected for their unusual localization a/o their peculiar clinical onset, are reviewed. From most of the clinical histories it appears that, in quite a few occasions, the episode due to Salmonella has been favoured or conditioned by a preexisting disease, therefore suggesting a nosocomial-type event. It also appears that the help from the microbiologist was often requested less than promptly, and minimal requirements for its efficacy were seldom achieved.
